| “ | Landscape is nothing but an impression, and an instantaneous one, hence this label that was given us, by the way because of me. I had sent a thing done in Le Havre, from my window, sun in the mist and a few masts of boats sticking up in the foreground. . . . They asked me for a title for the catalogue, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: 'Put Impression. ' [1] | ” |

Monet painted the sun as having almost exactly the same luminance as that of the sky, a condition which suggests high humidity and atmospheric attenuation of light. This detail relies on the use of complementary colours and variety of colour temperature, rather than changes in color intensity or contrast of values, to differentiate the sun from the surrounding sky. Complementary colors are pairs of Colors that are of “opposite” Hue in some Color model. Color temperature is a characteristic of Visible light that has important applications in lighting photography videography publishing and other fields
